Communication Disorders and Sciences hosts alumni conference

August 23, 2009

SUNY Fredonia held its annual Alumni Leadership Conference June 12 and 13, bringing more than 30 alumni from the Department of Communication Disorders and Sciences (formerly Speech Pathology and Audio-logy) back to campus. This year’s theme, “Enhancing the Commun-ication Disorders and Sciences Programs in Training Tomor-row’s SLPs,” allowed the campus and the department (a new area is chosen annually) to utilize the experience and success of its alumni as a self-assessment tool to identify potential areas for programmatic enhancement. The event began with a general campus update presentation followed by a reception and dinner. Alumni, current and emeritus faculty, and staff from the Division of University Advance-ment gathered for a fun evening of catching up and sharing stories. Dinner featured a number of alumni and guests sharing their memories of Fredonia and how their education prepared them for their success.
